Alien Sighting Flancy, France. A group of friends were hanging out when they had a close encounter with an alien being. Luckily they were able to capture the experience on camera. As they were standing around a small fire they noticed something moving in the trees behind them, one of the friends throws down a lit branch close to the area of movement and that’s when you see a small grey alien peeking out from behind a tree. The alien then disappears, never to be seen again.

Rencontre du troisième type à Flacy, France.

UFO sightings around the Popocatepetl volcano have been overwhelming.  As a result, Maurice Mousseau in cooperation with Tercermilenio.TV decided to set up a new volcanic monitoring service which recently became operational. The real time cam monitors all the activities around the Popocatepetl volcano. You can find the volcano monitoring service Here and the real time cam Here

Top 10 Bizarre Galaxy Pairs From Hubble

“The Arp catalog illustrates galaxies in many different stages of a collision:

* prior to their first close pass, * in the collision process, * subsequent to an interaction but before merging, * and in the final merger stages.

Unlike ellipticals, spirals are easily disturbed, often becoming destroyed entirely by such an interaction.”

When you take a glimpse into the deep Universe, beyond the gas, dust, stars and planets of our own galaxy, you enter the realm of the galaxies. In general, they come in two types: the spirals, with neat, orderly arms, and the ellipticals, with a symmetric, bulging shape. But for everything that exists in the Universe a particular way in general, there are exceptions. In the 1960s, astronomer Halton Arp became fascinated with these exceptions, creating a catalog of 338 examples: the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. We now know that most of these are galaxy pairs or triplets in the process of major mergers, displaying features such as tidal disruption, stellar bridges, starbursts and occasionally a rare, ring shape.

Triangle UFO Sighting West Virginia March 2016

A car enthusiast may have captured a triangular UFO on his dashcam, experts claimed. Grainy footage allegedly shows a faint UFO passing above West Virginia at the beginning of March.The unusual object was captured as the man, who was testing a new vehicle, drove down a state highway around 1am.

The UFO is barely visible [but] you can see some faint outlines of what look like a red coloured outline which is in a triangular shape. There are definite circular objects underneath.

Earth is about to pass through the tail of Halley’s Comet,

This will start around April 20th and will continue right up until May 21st. The best time to view them will be in the small hours between May 5 and 7, when the sky will be the darkest during the new Moon.

The specks and flecks you’ll be seeing are tiny pieces of debris from Halley’s Comet hitting Earth’s atmosphere and burning up. They’re called the Eta Aquarids as they appear to emerge from the constellation of Aquarius.

The shower will be more visible in the southern hemisphere. However, those in the northern hemisphere should be able to catch the odd one, especially if you’re near the equator. At their peak time, those in the southern hemisphere can expect to see up to 30 meteors every hour. If weather conditions are favorable, even those north of the equator can still see up to 10 every hour.

The Eta Aquarids happens every year thanks to Halley’s comet. It takes the comet about 75 years to travel around the sun, but Earth passes through the tail of the comet around April/ May every year.   Halley’s comet is projected to directly pass by the Earth again in 2061.

Astronomers are homing in on the whereabouts of a hidden giant planet in our solar system, and could discover the unseen beast in roughly a year. The hunt is on to find “Planet Nine”—a large undiscovered world, perhaps 10 times as massive as Earth and four times its size—that scientists think could be lurking in the outer solar system. After Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown, two planetary scientists from the California Institute of Technology, presented evidence for its existence this January, other teams have searched for further proof by analyzing archived images and proposing new observations to find it with the world’s largest telescopes. Just this month, evidence from the Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn helped close in on the missing planet. Many experts suspect that within as little as a year someone will spot the unseen world, which would be a monumental discovery that changes the way we view our solar system and our place in the cosmos. “Evidence is mounting that something unusual is out there.

1940’s - Foo Fighters UFO Sightings. All throughout WWII hundreds of pilots from around the world saw and photographed strange disks and balls that would fly close to them, they called them Foo Fighters. Most people think that the ufo’s where observing/watching us destroy ourselves!

Above are some of the pictures taken by the WWII pilots.
